Have you considered "running" in the pool? It's a good way to start.The chlorine doesn't wreck your hair because you aren't submerging. So you can run in the pool more often if hair color/perm/relaxer is an issue. I've been jogging since January. But I walked a long time before that. Also, I wear a loose jacket. I'm 5'1"…

I ran the 8k Beat the Bridge. I ran the first 2 miles then walked/ran to the finish. It was sooo fun. I loved it. Haven't done this in 16 years. Very different from the stair climber. Thanks for starting this challenge I will definitely keep posting.

I ran 2 miles and walked one today. This is great considering I'm "running" the Beat the Bridge in Seattle on May 18th. It's an 8k to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. The last time I ran this was 14 years ago and I weighed 123lbs. I'm 164 so it'll be a challenge, but I'm up for it. I've got to work my way…

Keep on moving!:happy:

Hi there! Kudos to you for everything that you are doing!!! Even if you are "just thinking about" exercise. Give yourself a break and hang in there. Have you ever thought of trying, "five minutes for everything"? Just get up and walk for five minutes and before you know it it'll turn into 10. As regards the upcoming 90…

Ditto., I agree with the comment about the eating disorder. I think the parenting fail is entering a 7-year-old in a competition that requires weight maintenance in the first place.

GREAT JOB!!! What an inspiring story. I never post, but I had to reply because your success really is motivating. I'm 5"1' and have thought that every 2lbs looks like 5 on my frame. So, I can really understand. Keep up the good work! :smile:
